Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).

Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

constitute an endorsement.

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/Geomatics.

The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:

— Improved the UML diagrams to conform to the current style and added the UML to the ISO/TC 211

Harmonized Model for both the 2009 version and this version of ISO 19126.

— Made minor updates to take into account changes to other standards, particularly ISO 19135-1:2015,

Introduction

This International Standard specifies a schema for geographic feature concept dictionaries managed as

registers. As described in ISO 19101-1, geographic features are abstractions of real world phenomena

associated with a location relative to the surface of the earth, about which data are collected, maintained

and disseminated.

A feature concept dictionary provides basic definitions and related information about a set of concepts

that may be used to describe geographic features and shared across multiple application areas.

Elements from a feature concept dictionary may be reused in one or more feature catalogues. A feature

catalogue is often associated with a particular application schema, product specification and data set. It

provides a complete textual specification of a set of feature types and their properties and relationships.

See Annex A for further discussion of the relationships between feature concept dictionaries, feature

catalogues, application schemas and product specifications.

ISO 19135-1 specifies procedures for the registration of items of geographic information. Items of

geographic information that may be registered are members of object classes specified in technical

standards such as those developed by ISO/TC 211. This International Standard defines object classes

and specifies rules used to establish and maintain feature concept dictionaries as ISO 19135-1

conformant register schemas.

ISO 19135-1 specifies the structure of a hierarchical register in which the principal register holds a

set of items that describe the subregisters. This International Standard specifies a schema for a

hierarchical register where the subregisters are feature concept dictionaries and/or feature catalogues.

This International Standard specifies an accompanying schema. The resulting hierarchical register

may be used as a basis for harmonization and the establishment of interoperability between different

geographic information communities.

Feature concept dictionaries and feature catalogues maintained as registers may serve as sources

of reference for similar registers established by other geographic information communities as part

of a system of cross-referencing. Cross-referencing between respective items in registers of items

of geographic information may be difficult in cases where the structure of registers differs between

information communities. This International Standard may serve as a guide for different information

communities to develop compatible registers that can support a system of geographic information

cross-referencing.

Geographic information — Feature concept dictionaries
and registers
1 Scope

This International Standard specifies a schema for feature concept dictionaries to be established and

managed as registers. It does not specify schemas for feature catalogues or for the management of

feature catalogues as registers. However, because feature catalogues are often derived from feature

concept dictionaries, this International Standard does specify a schema for a hierarchical register of

feature concept dictionaries and feature catalogues. These registers are in accordance with ISO 19135-1.

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.

ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https:// www .iso .org/ obp

3.1.1
compound registry

registry (3.1.20) containing multiple registers (3.1.19) that share the same item classes (3.1.17) and

coordinated management of a common characteristic

Note 1 to entry: The common characteristic may be a shared namespace for the assignment of names and/or codes.

3.1.2
data product

data set or data set series that conforms to a data product specification (3.1.3)

it to be created, supplied to and used by another party

[SOURCE: ISO 19103:2015, definition 4.14]
3.1.5
feature
abstraction of real world phenomena

Note 1 to entry: A feature may occur as a type or an instance. In this International Standard, feature type is

meant unless otherwise specified.

Note 2 to entry: This International Standard does not address real world phenomena directly; it addresses only

their abstractions (feature concepts and feature types) and feature instances (data collected to represent a

feature in conformance with a specified feature type).
[SOURCE: ISO 19101-1:2014, definition 4.11]

EXAMPLE The phenomenon named “Eiffel Tower” may be classified with other similar phenomena into a

feature type named “tower”.
3.1.6
feature association

relationship that links instances of one feature (3.1.5) type with instances of the same or a different

feature type

Note 1 to entry: A feature association may occur as a type or an instance. In this International Standard, feature

association type is meant unless otherwise specified.
